Dan Young is a creator, investor, mentor, and entrepreneur. Dan’s passion is to share his experiences on maximizing financial, physical and psychological well-being. Ultimately spreading peace, happiness, and joy throughout the universe.
Born in 1971 and raised in Southern California, Young is a first-generation American. His parents emigrated from China to the United States in the late 1930s to escape repression. At age six, Young began attending a computer school, learning video game development.
His first entrepreneurial efforts selling T-shirts in Venice Beach proved fun and lucrative. Dan’s then opened a shop at a swap meet selling cutlery in his Samurai costume.
After moving to Utah, the big box electronics retailer he was working for went bankrupt. Young contacted all the customers that had bought computers from him offering to honor their warranties at no charge. This is how PC Laptops began. The first year he lost over $20,000, honoring these warranties but the following year Young’s loyal customers rewarded him with over a $1,000,000 in business. Today his online, retail, cloud, manufacturing and real estate projects generate hundreds of millions in revenue and employ hundreds of US-based employees.
Young has founded numerous explosive growth tech companies such as PC Laptops and Xidax.com. Young has driven PC Laptops founded in 1992 and many of his companies to multiple listings among the INC 500 fastest growing companies in America and numerous awards such as Utah Best of State, 40 under 40, Microsoft Gold Partner and Intel Platinum Technology Partner. When he’s not visiting one of his stores and making friends with customers or inventing insane new things, Young is now just as likely to be in action mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs face to face and online at https://instagram.com/dansmillionairecode or developing massive real estate projects.
